Q: Photos randomly deleted

THis morning I had all of my photos and everything was fine. My photostream is on and my iphone does backup automatically everynight via wifi. This afternoon when I went to access my photos they were all gone and it saved 4 photos all from random dates. I do remember a message popping up about the memory and photostream earlier in the day but I just ignored it.  I've tried reinstalling the backup and clearing my phone and everything but the photos have returned to normal... Anything else I can do? Also do you know why it would have done this?

 

 

THank you

    Are your Photos only in My Photo Stream?  Photo Stream photos are not included in your backup, and they are not stored in iCloud for more than a month.

    Any photos older than a month will not be restored from My Photo Stream.

     

    Are you using My Photo Stream to transfer the photos to a computer?  Then look on the computer to recover them, for example in Photos on a Mac, if you are using Photos.
